Car Accidents in Georgia
Every day in Georgia, over 340 people experience injuries from car accidents. These accidents often happen because drivers are not careful, acting recklessly, negligently, or harmfully while driving. When these accidents occur, people can suffer serious injuries that need medical treatment. Injuries like damage to the spinal cord, brain trauma, and broken bones can keep someone away from work for a long time, sometimes leading to a disability that lasts forever.
Even though many drivers are cautious on Georgia’s roads, a lot of accidents still happen because of other people’s actions. Some common reasons for these accidents include driving too fast, not giving the right of way, ignoring stop signs or red lights, being distracted by phones or adjusting the radio, and driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
